Innocence Taken Away

I met you when I was so young and innocent

You told me I was a princess

You made me feel loved when I felt like I wasn't even thought of

The truth came out though

You were abusive, an alcoholic too

You would get drunk every night and beat me

Burn me with cigarettes

Cut me with knives

Then the next day you had the nerve to apologize

You had your way with me at night while I was asleep

I'd beg you to stop but you'd say shut up, I don't want to hear a peep

Raping me

Taking away my innocence

I once was a princess, but now I'm abused and broken

You took away my youth

I was too scared to leave

Until the day you beat me and put a shotgun to my head

I knew I had to grow a back bone so I fled

I ran as far as I could and never looked back

Now I'm in a much happier place but I still have scars to remind me of you

Unfortunate...

That's the truth
